Well beating a dead horse here, but using the drag link to center the wheel maybe the last step.That applies only if the steering wheel and gearbox are centered to each other.He's changed the column, and the steering shaft.I would want to make sure the box is centered to the wheel, and the way Idaho vette said to check it is dirt simple. And Idaho vette, I'm with you on the test drive,but I got reprimanded at Firestone for test driving cars before and after alignments.I was told if it's in the green it's good and. get on to the next car. That's stupid in my opinion but book trained number crunchers are smarter than me.
